After reading a number of devastating articles surrounding the Refugee Crisis, it's safe to say that I instantly wanted to know if there was anything I could do to help. So - after I little research - I decided to share my findings here for anyone who may be feeling the same way, but unsure on what can be done.

Many charities including Save The Children, Oxfam & World Vision are offering help & support to those in need. A donation is quick & easy to make by following the links to the registered charity site. For those who can't donate money, many charities are also asking for items to be donated, such as books to those living in the refugee camps.

Many petitions have been set up in order to show the public's support. Examples include this petition requesting for the UK to accept and increase support to refugees, this petition for Britain to accept its share of refugees & this petition supporting the creating of a Euro-wide policy to help the refugees current in Calais. Signing petitions like this may not feel like a ground-breaking movement, however they're a free & simple way to connect with more people in order to make more change.

Now these are just a few of the ways in which help & support can be offered, but I'd be here all day if I was to write them all out.. If you're interested in other ways in which you can help, a little research online should bring up more options. But I hope this provides some insight for anyone who - like me - was unsure of the ways that support can be offered to the Syrian refugees who currently need it.
